Description

[0001] The utility model relates to adjustable fasteners and can be used primarily in military uniforms, in particular for adjusting tactical equipment.

[0002] An adjustable belt buckle is known, which includes a main body having a bottom wall, a first side wall, a second side wall and an upper wall, wherein the first side wall and the second side wall respectively extend upward from two sides of the bottom wall in the axial direction, the bottom wall has a front end and a rear end in the axial direction, a first elongated hole is formed on the first side wall in the axial direction, a second elongated hole is formed on the second side wall in the axial direction, a first restriction portion is formed in the first elongated hole near the rear end of the bottom wall, a second restriction portion is formed in the second elongated hole near the rear end of the bottom wall, the upper wall has a cross section and an axial section connected to each other in a T-shape,two ends of the transverse section are respectively connected to the upper end of the first side wall and the upper end of the second side wall and near the rear end of the bottom wall, wherein the axial section extends from a location between the two ends of the transverse section to the front end of the bottom wall, so that a U-shaped groove is formed by the upper wall, the first side wall and the second side wall, and the location between the upper wall and the bottom wall allows the connecting tape to pass through it, and a first portion of teeth is formed on the upper surface of the connecting tape; and a pressing member having a shaft, a pressing plate and a second portion of teeth, wherein the pressing plate has a front end and a rear end in the axial direction, wherein the shaft is transversely connected to the rear end of the pressing plate, the two ends of the shaft respectively protrude from both sides of the pressing plate outward, the second portion of teeth is located on the lower surface of the pressing plate,one end of the shaft passes through a first elongated hole adjacent to the front end of the bottom wall, and the other end of the shaft passes through a second elongated hole adjacent to the front end of the bottom wall (US 09241543).,

[0003] The closest technical solution chosen by the applicant as a prototype based on the general set of essential features is a fastener consisting of a fixed and a movable part, the movable part is made in the form of a plate with transversely inclined teeth in one direction, forming a comb on the surface of the plate, on one end of which there is a fastening in the form of an eyelet for a strap, and on the other side a tongue for inserting the plate into the fixed part, which is represented by a housing having a base and opposite side walls that have coaxial holes for installing a pin on which a spring-loaded lever of the second kind is installed and a locking element interacting with it, the lower surface of which has mating teeth for interacting with the transversely inclined teeth of the movable part, the housing has limiters for turning the lever (WO 2015147476).

[0004] The disadvantage of this design is that it can be used to secure and adjust straps and buckles found in motorcycle, cyclist, and ski equipment, particularly helmets, jackets, and other similar items. Such fasteners do not require high reliability, as they are designed to secure component parts of the equipment. Such fasteners are not used in tactical gear, as they lack the ability to securely attach to tactical equipment and are not designed to withstand high, sudden, alternating loads.

[0005] The technical task of the claimed utility model is to ensure reliable fastening of the fastener to tactical equipment.

[0006] The technical result is the creation of a simplified design of a reliable, adjustable, high-rigidity fastener for tactical equipment, while simultaneously reducing the number of assembly units.

[0007] The technical problem is solved in that the adjustable fastener of tactical equipment consists of a fixed and a movable part, the movable part is made in the form of a plate with transverse teeth inclined in one direction, forming a comb on the surface of the plate, on one end of which there is a fastening in the form of an eyelet for a belt, and on the other side a tongue for inserting the plate into the fixed part, which is represented by a housing with opposite side walls with a pin, on which a spring-loaded lever is mounted, characterized in that the base of the housing of the fixed part is represented by an overlay, the edge of which is made with the possibility of rigid attachment to an element of tactical equipment, between the side walls of the housing with the pin there is an additional through partition with seating sockets and holes for the pin, and the lever on one side is provided with a push button, and on the other side has a beveled end interacting with the transverse teeth of the comb of the movable part.

[0008] To further enhance the fastening security, the fixed part of the clasp has stops on the side walls. The moving part, on the belt attachment side, has projections on the edges of the plate that interact with the formed stops in the body. The tongue also has a stop whose height exceeds the beveled end of the lever. This helps prevent the belt from releasing under abnormal loads, further enhancing the fastening security.

[0009] The transverse inclined teeth on the plate are arranged in two parallel strips with a groove between them. This further enhances reliability by making the working part of the fastener easier to maintain during normal operation.

[0010] Increased rigidity of the fastener is ensured by the additional placement of a fixed part of the through partition in the case, the implementation of the base of the case in the form of an elongated plate, the edges of which on the left and right have the ability to be rigidly attached to elements of tactical equipment, for example, a bulletproof vest belt, by sewing, and also by the fact that, unlike the prototype, the lever in the claimed fastener is made as a first-class lever.

[0011] A comparison of the claimed utility model with the prototype shows that it has the following features:

[0012] The base of the fixed part of the body is represented by an overlay, the edge of which is designed with the possibility of rigid attachment to elements of tactical equipment,

[0013] between the side walls of the housing with the pin, there is an additional through partition with mounting sockets and holes for the pin,

[0014] The lever is equipped with a push button on one side and has a beveled end on the other side that interacts with the transverse teeth of the comb of the moving part.

[0015] Therefore, the claimed utility model meets the criterion of “novelty”.

[0016] The utility model can be manufactured using known equipment, therefore it meets the criterion of “industrial applicability”.

[0017] Fig. 1 shows the claimed utility model, Fig. 2 shows the housing of the fixed part with an overlay, Fig. 3 shows the lever of the fixed part, Fig. 4 shows the plate with the comb, Fig. 5 schematically shows a side view of the fixed clasp, Fig. 6 shows the installed spring-loaded lever, Fig. 7 shows a prototype of the claimed clasp, a top view, Fig. 8 shows the claimed clasp a bottom view, Fig. 9 shows the claimed clasp installed on a tactical belt (an element of tactical equipment).

[0018] The adjustable fastener for tactical equipment comprises a movable part (Fig. 1) and a fixed part (Fig. 2). The movable part is made in the form of a plate 1 with transverse teeth 2 inclined in one direction, forming a comb-shaped surface, wherein the teeth 2 can be organized into two strips, between which there is a groove 3. On one end of the plate 1 there is a fastening in the form of an eye 4 for a belt (Fig. 4), and on the other side, a tongue 5 for inserting the plate 1 into the fixed part. The fixed part is a body 6 made from a polymer material in one piece, by casting or on a 3D printer, with an overlay 7, the edges of which extend beyond the edges of the body 6, forming sections 8, 9, 10 for rigidly attaching the fastener to the uniform, for example, to a tactical belt of a bulletproof vest by sewing along sections 8, 9 and 10.The housing 6 has opposite side walls 11, 12 with mounting sockets 13, 14, connected by a through partition 15, which, together with the cover plate 7, ensures the rigidity of the fastener. In the mounting sockets 13, 14 there are coaxial holes 15, 16, in which a pin 17 is installed, on which a lever 18 is located. The lever 18 is made of the first kind and has a key 19 on one side, and a beveled end 20 on the other side, interacting with transverse inclined teeth 2 of the plate 1. The lever 18 is spring-loaded relative to the housing 6, as shown in Fig. 6. To ensure the reliability of the structure, inside the housing 6, in the opposite side walls 11, 12, there are limiters 20, 21, and on the plate 1, on the side of the eye 4, on the edges there are projections 22, 23 (Fig. 4) for interaction with the formed limiters 20, 21 of the housing 6. Also on the tongue 5 of the plate 1 there is a stop 24, the height of which exceeds the height of the beveled end 20 of the lever 18.

[0019] The clasp works as follows. Before use, the fastener is rigidly attached to the uniform by means of the plate 7 (Fig. 9, for example, by stitching section 8 of the plate with a continuous seam, as well as in the corner sections of the plate (eyelets can be used in the corner sections) that extend beyond the perimeter of the housing 6 (the attachment points are shown by arrows in Fig. 2). The plate 1 was inserted into the housing 6 with a little effort by means of the tongue 5 from the side of the key 19 of the lever 18. In this case, the teeth 2 inclined in one direction slide under the beveled end 20 of the lever 18, which is accordingly raised and lowered due to the spring load relative to the housing 6, making rocking movements on the pin 17, and fixes the comb, resting against the teeth 2 when the pushing of the plate 1 into the housing 6 stops. The fastener is adjusted either by additionally pushing the plate 1 into the housing 6 to the required length, or by pulling the plate back out of the housing 6.To pull out plate 1, it is necessary to press key 19 of housing 6, which, rotating on pin 17, lifts the beveled end 20 of spring-loaded lever 18, thereby ensuring the return movement of teeth 2 through housing 6. The adjustment is complete.

[0020] Additionally, the following should be noted. To ensure the reliability of the fastener, namely to prevent plate 1 from jumping out of housing 6 during the return stroke, the height of tongue 5 is higher than the height of beveled stop 20 of lever 18, i.e. at the maximum position of the plate 1, the tongue 5 rests against the beveled stop 20. In order to prevent the plate 1 from jamming in the housing 6 during the forward stroke, limiters are provided in the housing 6 and projections are provided on the edges of the plate 1. In the event of breakage of the plate 1, for example, when a fragment hits the plate, etc., in order to release the plate 1 from the housing 6, it is sufficient to insert a metal rod or a short screwdriver into the groove 3 from the side of the key 19, lift the spring-loaded lever 18, thereby releasing the teeth 2 from engagement with the beveled end 20 and removing the deformed plate 1 from the housing 6.

[0021] Thus, the claimed adjustable fastener for tactical equipment has a simple and reliable design with increased rigidity, does not require many assembly units, and allows for quick and convenient adjustment of tactical equipment, for example, a tactical belt for a bulletproof vest.
